forgive me if i don't quite make sense (half a glass of wine - i don't handle alcohol well!) but...

is calling her reaction cute belittling it, or could it be seen as an extension of objectification or humiliation or some such... or even paternalistic...? and therefore a natural extension of a D/s relationship in a small way?

(i mean from the D perspective... from the s perspective, the maternal/defensive does seem to be the driving motive).

i'll go finish my wine before i start designing a solution for world peace...
